you need to have A license and at lease 50 Jumps the landing area is as big as a football field thay want to have 100 canopys landing all in that area its plenty big enough
Thats a recipe for disaster. Allowing jumpers with a little as 50 jumps on a demo load into a football field sized area with 100 jumpers ?

I don't mean to slam you, but have you read the SIM where it pertains to demo jumps?

The number of jumpers with low experience would probably be few. And you can stage the opening altitudes at various heights, so that not everyone is trying to land at the same time.
I don't mean to dought you but it is hard to believe that they are going to let non Pro-Rated jumpers jump into a Nascar race. Am I understanding you correctly?

When I was talking with the company putting on the Nascar races at the Talladega superspeedway just down the road a few years ago, which has a grassy stretch in the tri-oval that's bigger than a football field, they told me it requires a PRO rating. Probably for the simple fact that its a MAJOR event with THOUSANDS of spectators and few outs, if any.
I dunno about the road track in California. It's set into a hill-side so I wouldn't want to be hosed on a bad spot.

No big deal.
Putting 100 jumpers of varying ability into an area the size of a football field is asking for problems. Staggering the opening works well when you know your team. You obviously have a little looser standards than I do Mr Rich. Go do the jump then report back.
